FRIEND OF CASTRO
Silveira May Be Headed for
Venezuelan Port.
WHOLE WORLD SEEKS HIM
General Hue- and Cry After Cnban
Merchant W ho Stole $1,000,000.
He Changed". Steamers After
Leaving Havana.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Cablegrams
to all ports In the world were sent out
today asking the authorities to keep
watch, for Manuel Silveira, the Ha
vana banker, who is accused of having
absconded with more than Jl.000,000,
thereby causing the assignment in tills
city of the banking and commission
house of Juam M. Ceballos & Co.
William V. Rowe, receiver of the
wrecked firm, said today that every
effort was being made to apprehend
Silveira, who, he said, was a close per
sonal friend of President Castro, of
Venezuela, and had Important financial
relations with the head of the South
American republic. Detectives have
been employed to run down Silveira.
Mr. Rowe said, and their opinion is
that the Cuban banker will strain
every nerve to reach Venezuela.
CHANGED STKAMKKS AT SEA
Silveira's Cunning Trick to Throw
Pursuers Off Ills Trail.
NEW TORK. Oct 11. Manuel Sil
veira, the defaulting; Havana agent for
the, firm of J. M. Ceballos & Co., is not
on board thw steamer Carmelina. upon
which he left Havana October 2, but
on another steamer, which he boarded
at sea two days after leaving the Cu
ban capital, according: to information
which was given out here today. It
Is said that the present whereabouts
of thu Carmelina is known and that
tlie destination of the other steamer
to which Silveira and his family were
transferred also Is known.
The charge of defalcation of more
than a million dollars was made, ac
cording to Sullivan & Cromwell, after
the news of the Carmelina and the
other steamer had been received in
this city.
All Efforts to Capture.
When Mr. Cromwell was questioned
at his office regarding the transfer of
Silveira and his family from the Car
melina after leaving Havana, he said:
'That is something I do not care to
discuss, because it would be giving a
hint. All my efforts are being directed
now to capture the man."
Mr. Cromwell would not say If de
tectives were on the lookout for Sil
veira in South American ports and
elsewhere., nor would he Bay If detec
tives had sailed on the steamship Cur
itybaca. or on the Morida today, aa
reported.
Blow to Cuban Development.
The failure is considered certain to
have a damaging effect upon business
In Cuba. Among other things It means
the abandonment of a comprehensive
Cuban railroad scheme, which contem
plated the eonrtruetion of an entire
new railroad system, reaching all the
Ceballos properties and covering all
that large part of the Island not now
covered with transportation facilities.
Manuel Sllvelra's firm has excellent
standing In Cuba. The firm Is one of
"merchant bankers," the business con
sisting of handling merchandise of va
rious sorts, instead of securities, like
banking houses. The firm is the larg
est importer of cattle In Cuba, bring
ing in cattle from Venezuela, Texas
and Colombia, and It was on one of
tils cattle boats that Silveira with his
family left Havana, on October 2.
Silveira Great Speculator.
Silveira has been a promotor of many
enterprises In Cuba. One of his specu
lations In which Mr. Ceballos Is said to
have been associated with htm was
the purchase after the war of soldiers'
warrants, which he got for little
money, but which subsequently were
redeemed at par and 9 per cent Inter
est. He cleared a large sum by this
operation.
As the financial agent of Ceballos &
Co., Sllvelra's firm handled money In
bulk and often had on hand an excess
holding of more than Jl.noo.noo. Ce
ballos & Co. were the business agents
for many New York firms and Indi
viduals interested 1n Cuban projects,
and In this business handled large
sums of money for their customers.

CL1PPIXG WIXGS OF CHURCH
Spanish Government Takes Control
of Marriage and Education.
MADRID, Oct. 11. Upon the reassem
bling of the Cortes. October 20, the Vati
can and the Liberal government of Mar
shal Lopez Domlnguez will cross swords
over the church issue. While the actual
question of the separation of church and
state in Spain, the stronghold of Catho
licism, is not to be immediately raised
as in France, the democratic programme
of the Liberals Is distinctly anti-clerical
and if it progresses successfully is sure
ultimately to lead to an open fight for
the severance of the ties which bind the
Vatican and the Bourbon dynasty.
The points at issue between the Vati
can and the Spanish government are the
control of the cemeteries, civil marriages,
public education (all matters which have
been settled by the ensuing legislation),
and the big question of the religious con
gregations not Included In the concordat
of 1851. The church opposes municipal
control of -the cemeteries and demands
tiiat the practice of allotting portions of
the cemeteries to Spaniards and foreign
ers who do not subscribe to the state
religion, shall be discontinued.
In respect to the question of civil mar
riages, the church wishes to have It laid
down that civil unions between Spaniards
are only legal when celebrated according
to canon law, which is aDsolutely opposea
to the actual' system. Before, during and
since the revolution, civil marriages have
been held to be legal. Further, marriages
between Catholics in Catholic churches
and chapels must be 1 registered In the
civil registers to have any legal validity.
Consequently, the clergy are forced to
do this or to have a civil registrar pres
ent at the ceremony. Births and deaths
are also registered by the civil authorl- 1
ties with wonderfully Improved results, j
as far as the preparation of statistics
and the proper maintenance of records
are concerned.
The Minister of Education. Jlmlno, a
leading member of the Canalejas group,
has taken the initiative in the seculari
zation of education without waiting for
the papal nuncio to force his action. In
a circular he asks all the educational au
thorities, primary and secondary, to for
ward to the Ministry within a month a
list of all nonofficlal educational estab
lishments which are not legally author
ized. The decree hits hardest the schools
kept by the religious orders', where many
of the teachers are foreigners, neither
properly domiciled in Spain nor provided
with Spanish university degrees.
In addition to all these measures, the
Domlnguez cabinet makes no secret of
the fact that it Intends to open the ques
tion of revision of the concordat and
make all religious associations amenable
to the ordinary law on corporations.
The present cabinet has the unanimous
support of the Liberals, and even the Re
publicans. In wishing that clear, precise
and severe laws should oblige the reli
gious congregations to snibmit themselves
to the supremacy of the civil power, and
to cease to be a reactionary and ultra
montane militia at the beck and call of
the papacy a militia which, as In most
Catholic countries, has been looked upon
with variable approbation by the secular
clergy and the hierarchy.
THREE GREAT BATTLESHIPS
Will Bo Swift and Equal to Double
Xumber of Others.
LONDON. Oct. 11. The Daily Tele
graph today says that three armored
cruisers now under construction, the
Inflexible and Indomitable on the
Clyde, and the Invincible at Klswick,
about which much secrecy has been
maintained by the Admiralty, are in
reality battleships, of as heavy broad
side fire as the Dreadnaught but very
much faster. These vessels in fact will
be the most wonderful ships ever built
for any navy, in that they will have
greater offensive power than any two
battleships now in commission in any
fleet in the world, combined with ex
traordinary opeed, far in excess of any
thing hitherto attained. Following are
the dimensions of these vessels:
Displacement, 17,250 tons; length. 530
feet; breadth, 18M feet; meun draught,
feet, weight of the hull, including
arms and backing, 111,100.
Kacii vessel will carry eight new
12-lnch guns. Although these vessels
have each two guns less than the
Dreadnaught, the Daily Telegraph con
tinues, they will have as much power
in broadside fire, due to a new ar
rangement of the guns, four in two
barbettes fore and aft. with a training
arc enabling them to be used on either
side, and four more in barbettes
placed in the center of the ship, so as
to bear on either beam, ahead or astern.
They thus will have six guns for tire
ahead or astern, and they will be able
to bring tho entire armament of eight
guns to bear to either port or star
board. Consequently the fire of these
vessels in chasing will be as heavy ajs
the head or stern Are of any three for
eign battleships, while on the beam It
will equal that of any two other bat
tleships. These vessels are designed for a
speed of 23 knots and may attain 27
knots on their trials. They will be pro
pelled by turbine engines. The con
struction of the hulls Is on the same
principles as adopted by the Dread
naught, but they are less heavily ar
mored. DOES XOT WAXT MAX'S BLOOD

bloodthirsty chase for the life of Lieuten
ant Esslpoff."

no desire to kill the man who wronged
him. He Is convinced that his wife, who
was confined in an asylum in Russia, is
crazy, and his sole object Is to save the

and take her back to Russia, where she
will be cared for, and avoid further scan
dal." M. Zottl declined to reveal General

VESSEL SPINS IN A GALE
Paddle-Wheel Breaks and Deep Sea
I'lsiiermcn Are Given Bad Scare.
STAPLETOX. Staten Island. Oct. 11.
There was landed at the docks here to
night a party of 5 badly frightened resi
dents of New York, who had been pas
sengers during the day upon the steamer
Mount Desert, whicli plies between the
Battery pier, in New York, and the deep
sea fishing banks. ' For more than three
hours they had been prisoners upon the
steamer, as she drifted, disabled, in deep
water off Sandy Hook, pounded by heavy
seas and a strong westerly wind.
The Mount Desert was on her return
trip when the gale hit her, and, although
her captain did his best to keep her head
up into the wind, she was, not heavily
enough laden, and the mammoth waves
drove her about in a circle. In an at
tempt to make headway all steam was
ordered on and paddle-wheels revolved
furiously. The boat began to gain head
way, and Just when it seemed
that she would get Into the harbor all
right, a grinding noise was heard, and
the steamer careened heavily to star
board. Investigation revealed that the
port paddle-wheel had been smashed,
nearly all of the feathering buckets be
ing torn off. .
The steamer drifted towards the High
lands, and all efforts to keep her head
up to the waves were useless. Just when
it seemed she would be driven upon the
rocks and wrecked the United States
steamer Ordnance put in appearance.
She responded to whistles for assistance,
and passed a line to the Mount Desert,
towing her to this place. The passengers
were sent to New York by train from
here.

CLEVELAND WAS STARTLED
Says Hearst's Nomination Produces
Afflictive Situation.
NEW YORK. Oct. 11. The World today
publishes a statement by Grover Cleve
land on the New York political campaign,
which. It states, was written yesterday by
the ex-President at his home in Princeton.
The statement follows:
"It is diftlcult for me to overcome my
reluctance to express my views of the
present political situation in the State of
New York, and yet I can never lose the
interest In her political welfare which has
grown out of my long residence there and
my active particlption in her political
movements.
"I confess I was exceedingly surprised
by the outcome of the recent Democratic
state convention. Though I was not near
enough to be in touch with the incidents
leading up to this result, being absent on
my vacation and giving little attention to
political occurrences, my estimate of the
conservative good judgment of the Demo
crats of the state and my conception of
Democratic principles and purposes were
such that I . was profoundly startled by
the selection they made of a candidate to
represent them In the pending canvass.
"Of course every voter of the state must
settle with his own conscience In deter
mining his action in this emergency, but
I cannot but regard the Democratic situa
tion presented to my old associates In
New York as an afflictive one."

At the ankle, for instance, the changes in form"are
so great that a lighter and more flexible leather must
be used, while over the tread or ball of the foot a
tough, firm leather is necessary to hold its shape and
prevent rips or tears.
This requires a different grade of leather for prac

Hence we can employ only the most skillful cutters

the added comfort of our shoes.
